Default Freebsd router PPP/PPPoE connection problem

I have a thomson adsl router set in half bridge mode. When I installed pfsense onto a spare machine with 2 nics it worked a treat and my wan ip was assigned to one of the nics and it worked perfect.
So I was thinking of ditching the pfsense box to cut down on pc's running and configure my freebsd server which has dual nics to do the same.
I tried the docs here freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/pppoe.html thinking I was on the right track but they didnt work.


Code:
Dec 30 17:36:15 ww ppp[82070]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Connect time: 5 secs: 0 octets in, 0 octets out
Dec 30 17:36:15 ww ppp[82070]: tun0: Phase: deflink: 20 packets in, 18 packets out
Dec 30 17:36:15 ww ppp[82070]: tun0: Phase:  total 0 bytes/sec, peak 0 bytes/sec on Wed Dec 30 17:36:10 2009
Dec 30 17:36:15 ww ppp[82070]: tun0: Phase: deflink: hangup -> opening
Dec 30 17:36:15 ww ppp[82070]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Enter pause (30) for redialing.
Dec 30 17:36:45 wwppp[82070]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Connected!
Dec 30 17:36:45 ww ppp[82070]: tun0: Phase: deflink: opening -> dial
So how was pfsense able to connect ? any pointers welcome
Thanks

Cannot you check the pfsense box configuration?

I dont have the box up and running any more gone back to a normal router. My mate just mailed me his ppp.conf from his pfsense box and its the default one.
Pfsense seems to have a load of rc. files it runs and I cant make much sense of them to be honest.
Never mind will try google again

seems like mpt may be the way ahead

You can try the step by step interactive approach described in the excellent ppp(8) man page and http://renaud.waldura.com/doc/freebsd/pppoe/

If you recently changed the password keep the following in mind.

Remember that ppp passes things through sh. If you password or username contains characters with special meaning for the shell like quotes, redirection symbols etc, you should escape them properly . See sh(1) starting at the Lexical Structure up to the Aliases section.

I don't remember exactly but when I had either a '~' or a "\"in my password, I could dial in with my modem under Win95, but not under FBSD 3.4 using ppp.

Code:
$ echo vice$president   
vice
$ echo "vice$president" 
vice
$ echo "vice\$president" 
vice$president
Or if you have a password like "vice\$president" only the last variation will really get your password unharmed through the shell
Code:
$ echo "vice\\$president" 
vice\
$ echo "vice\\\$president" 
vice\$president

I prefer MPD5 for PPPoE
